The ones you love can set you free.
Our life - no matter what happens in between - starts and ends with a heartbeat: our own personal rhythm, our own song.
If Melody hadn't run out of de-icer that day, she would never have slipped and banged her head. She wouldn't be left with a condition that makes her sing when she's nervous. And she definitely wouldn't have belted out the Arctic Monkeys' "I bet you look good on the dance floor" in assembly at her son's school.
If Dev hadn't taken the kids to the zoo that day, then the accident wouldn't have happened. He wouldn't have left Flynn and Rose without a dad. Or shattered the love-of-his-life's heart. But if they hadn't seen the missing persons report, they might never have taken the trip to Cornwall. And, in the last place they expected, discovered what it really means to be "Us".
"Clever and original, this will break your heart, but put it back together again"
Katie Fforde
